Five Important Books
There are lots of diet books. There are lots of books about what ails you and there are lots of exercise books.
The following books are the ones I've used and had success with. To me they are the books of the Health and Weight Restoration Bible.
Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management
Bernard Jensen, D.C. Ph.D., Nutritionist/Sylvia Bell
This is the book you start with. It is a book that should be in the educational system in every country. It explains in detail how your body works. It's an old book and there are some bits of information that have been updated but the essentials are where it is at. If you are serious about weight loss and or health restoration you need to know this book not just read it. Luckily, it's very interesting to read.
The Mucusless Diet Healing System
Professor Arnold Ehret
In this book we learn how what we eat can be broken down into mucus-forming and Mucus-free foods and drink. Understanding this concept is the key to eating a healthy diet and being able to stay healthy and slim. The language is antique but the information works. It's an unorthydox approach but all modern health restoration knowledge is built on this foundation and so far, no one has been able to out-perform the professor.
The pH Miracle
Robert and Shelly Young
Chemistry is not a subject most dieters want to think about. But everything that goes in our mouths sets off a chain of chemical events. Not understanding the chemistry of our own bodies is sheer lunacy and extremely dangerous. Without that information, we can have no idea what state our body is in or whether we're getting sicker or better or yo-yoing between the two.
Rational Fasting
Professor Arnold Ehret
There is not much you can say about fasting other than you don't eat or drink much - or is there? Professor Ehret explored the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of true fasting.
Whether or not you believe in any sort of God, proper fasting is an inner spiritual event. It is not a religious event despite efforts by various religions to make it so. Fasting represents an opportunity for the faster to get in tune with and "listen" to their own body. That is not to say that your body is going to independently say, "Hey Bill, what's with you? Stop eating all that junk food!" But just the same, your body's needs will make themselves manifest if while fasting you take the time to rest and reflect on how you are living your life. This is where you learn to get comfortable in your own skin and be your own best friend instead of your own worst enemy.
You don't make life affirming changes in a heartbeat normally. They take time and repetition. You have to take the time.
The last book is any good book on exercise that makes the often boring routine of exercise interesting enough that you stick with it. I use the Fit for Life routines myself. They are too aggressive for a lot of people. But you need a program that gives you enough variety and reward to keep you motivated and uninjured. Patience is a virtue. There is no race. Take your time or you will injure yourself.
If you have injuries, you need to see a doctor to find out what types of routines will work for you. You may need to see a doctor who specializes in sports medicine or chiropractic.
As you get older, back injuries are easier to acquire and almost impossible to be rid of. They come with a lot of pain and a reduction of quality of life. It pays to go slow and be careful.
